"Black Wolf Devours the Moon," Yinn Xuege shouted loudly, pushing with both hands as two True Qi-formed black wolves, howling to the sky, charged at Wang Xiaoqiang with an unmatched ferocious momentum.
Seeing the True Qi-formed giant wolves pounce towards him when they were just ten meters away, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to be negligent. He pushed with both hands, condensing the Spiritual Energy inside his body into two yellow-colored Spiritual Energy Long Spears.
As the Spiritual Energy Long Spears were activated, they emitted a buzzing, muffled sound and shot towards the snarling giant black wolves, speeding towards them.
The next moment...
The spears pierced through the bodies of the giant wolves. The wolves let out two miserable shrieks, exploded with a bang, and dissipated into black clouds.
Yinn Xuege's cultivation base was at the late stage of Foundation Establishment, while the Spiritual Power in Wang Xiaoqiang's body was at the early stage of Golden Core, a whole major realm apart. Moreover, Yinn Xuege's "Black Wolf Devours the Moon" was a Water Attribute spell, which naturally crumbled upon contact with the Earth Element Spiritual Qi-formed spears of Wang Xiaoqiang.
The wonderful use of spells lies in their ability to kill from a distance without risking one's self. However, the twin Earth-yellow True Qi Long Spears wielded by Wang Xiaoqiang, upon shattering the two True Qi black wolves, did not dissipate but instead shot towards Yinn Xuege, catching him off guard.
Seeing the two spears shooting towards him, Yinn Xuege had no time to dodge and could only desperately mobilize his True Yuan, condensing a Spiritual Energy Shield in front of him.
Just as he had barely managed to form a Spiritual Energy Shield, Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Energy Long Spears had already struck.
Bang! Bang!
The Spiritual Energy Long Spears hit the Spiritual Energy Shield one after the other. Although they didn't break through the shield, under the violent impact, Yinn Xuege couldn't help but spit out two mouthfuls of blood.
Jiang Yulong saw the opportunity was ripe and immediately made his move. With a twist of his hands, his True Qi transformed into a dragon, and a yellow giant dragon formed between his hands. With a push from Jiang Yulong's hands, the dragon roared out, reaching a length of ten feet. Its head as large as a bucket and its mouth wide open, it lunged at Wang Xiaoqiang.
Golden Core stage cultivators truly are extraordinary. The spells they condense are both enormous and swift. The yellow giant dragon approached rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon him. In a desperate situation, Wang Xiaoqiang had no choice but to resist with all his might. Raising both hands, he condensed a cyan-colored giant axe, and before the yellow dragon could pounce, the axe chopped down.
Boom!
The giant axe split the dragon's head in two. The yellow dragon dissipated, and the giant axe in Wang Xiaoqiang's hand also vanished after the Spiritual Power was depleted.
This yellow giant dragon was Jiang Yulong's Earth Attribute spell "Roaming Dragon Chant," a spell cultivated by Golden Core stage cultivators. Its power was tremendously great, and since Jiang Yulong wanted to kill Wang Xiaoqiang in one blow, he had gone all out. Moreover, he made his move just after Wang Xiaoqiang had exchanged blows with Yinn Xuege, clearly taking advantage of Wang Xiaoqiang's vulnerability. Had Wang Xiaoqiang not condensed an axe with Wood Element Spiritual Qi to break through the dragon's head, he would have been at a great disadvantage. Nevertheless, this exchange had exhausted a significant amount of Wang Xiaoqiang's Spiritual Energy, causing his Qi and blood to roil and, evidently, also shaking his meridians.
To add to his troubles, Yinn Xuege, as if driven by desperation, charged up again, his posture suggesting he wanted to join Jiang Yulong in besieging Wang Xiaoqiang.
Wang Xiaoqiang dared not be careless. With a thought, he absorbed the one hundred external Spirit Springs into his body, where the 226 Spirit Springs resonated, and the surging Spiritual Energy rose like a tidal wave, elevating his momentum.
"What, Nascent Soul??"
When Jiang Yulong and Yinn Xuege sensed that Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base had soared once more, they were both startled. Jiang Yulong's eyes spun round as he abruptly halted, while Yinn Xuege foolishly continued to charge forward.
Wang Xiaoqiang sneered coldly and released a Spiritual Energy Long Spear towards the attacking Yinn Xuege. This Spiritual Energy Long Spear was as thick as an adult's thigh and over three meters long, gleaming with a metallic luster, exuding a formidable power as it shot toward Yinn Xuege.
Upon seeing that the Spiritual Energy Long Spear Wang Xiaoqiang had condensed was five times larger than the previous ones, Yinn Xuege was shocked to his core and knew he could not match it. He moved aside with his Sword Control and leapt into the air to escape, but how could he evade it? The spear, like a homing missile, followed him.
"Brother Long, save me!" Yinn Xuege saw the gigantic Spiritual Energy Long Spear chasing after him and revealed sheer terror in his eyes as he cried out in a quavering voice.
Jiang Yulong, as if he had not heard at all, coldly waved a hand gesture, abandoning Yinn Xuege and decisively flew in the direction of Taiyi Sect. He had long since noticed something off about Wang Xiaoqiang and figured that he either had reached the Divinity Transformation Realm or was nothing; time and again, it was proven that Wang Xiaoqiang was not nothing. Since that was the case, the only other possibility was that Wang Xiaoqiang had reached Divinity Transformation, and if not that, he was at least a Nascent Soul Old Monster. Now, seeing the boundless Spiritual Power within Wang Xiaoqiang, he was clearly at Nascent Soul stage, and he dared not engage further. A Nascent Soul Old Monster, if exerting full strength, could instantly kill a Golden Core stage cultivator.
"Ah!"
As Jiang Yulong fled, the Spiritual Energy Long Spear pierced through Yinn Xuege's body. Under its momentum, Yinn Xuege's body was carried off by the Spiritual Energy Long Spear until he disappeared from sight. All that remained in the air was a trail of blood mist, like the smoke from an airplane's tail, accompanied by a scream that grew fainter and fainter...
Upon hearing Yinn Xuege's scream, Jiang Yulong shuddered and increased his speed, flying towards the Taiyi Sect. As long as he could enter the Taiyi Sect alive, it was as if he had grabbed hold of a lifeline. Within the Taiyi Sect, other than challenges on the Life and Death Stage, disciples were strictly forbidden from private duels, let alone killing each other.
Seeing Jiang Yulong flee, Wang Xiaoqiang stepped on the Spirit Spring and gave chase.
Jiang Yulong was adept at Sky Manipulation, and due to his desperation to escape, he didn't hesitate to deplete his True Yuan. Thus, his speed was very fast. In contrast, Wang Xiaoqiang was somewhat slower; he himself couldn't perform Sky Manipulation and could only rely on the Spirit Spring as a carrier for flight. Unfortunately, there were only two Spirit Springs under his feet at the moment, and the Spiritual Power was too weak. Seeing Jiang Yulong's figure getting farther and farther away, Wang Xiaoqiang released 100 Spirit Springs from within his body, forming the Spirit Spring Flying Boat to carry himself. With this change, although he was a beat slower than the fleeing Jiang Yulong, the Spirit Spring Flying Boat, formed from 102 Spirit Springs, was much faster than Jiang Yulong's Sky Manipulation speed.
Whoosh!
The Spirit Spring Flying Boat shot forward like an arrowhead, quickly gaining on him.
Looking back, Jiang Yulong saw Wang Xiaoqiang was only a hundred meters behind him, which scared him so much that he felt a cold shiver down his spine and almost wet his pants. At the same time, a sense of despair arose in his heart.
In the moment he looked back, he saw that the Land of Sacred Emptiness was only fifty meters ahead. Once he reached the Land of Sacred Emptiness, he would be safe. Therefore, the fifty meters ahead were a matter of life and death—a beat slower could mean survival, but also potentially death.
Jiang Yulong could no longer concern himself with the consequences; he gambled all his True Yuan and cultivation base. Going all out was a big taboo for cultivators, akin to draining a pond to catch all the fish, damaging the foundation and harming the Daoist Foundation, which was detrimental to future cultivation. It was similar to a high-rise in construction being damaged at its foundation; trying to build it higher would risk collapse.
Despite this all-out effort, Jiang Yulong sped up a little, but Wang Xiaoqiang was still catching up. Seeing that Jiang Yulong was about to enter the Taiyi Sect, Wang Xiaoqiang knew it was unlikely he'd be able to kill him in time.
After the recent bloody battle, Wang Xiaoqiang had already realized that Jiang Yulong was the most cunning and ruthless, also possessing the highest cultivation. Missing this opportunity to kill him would make it difficult to do so in the future. Such a treacherous and dangerous person, if left alive, would always be a hazard. Unwilling to let go of this chance, Wang Xiaoqiang shot a Spiritual Energy Arrow. The arrow, with its five-color brilliance was formed from Five-Color Spiritual Qi, possessing immense power.
Moreover, arrows were inherently fast, let alone an arrowhead formed from Five-Color Spiritual Qi. Once shot, it was much faster than the previously used Spiritual Energy Sword and Spiritual Energy Long Spear.
"Haha... You won't be able to kill me now!" Jiang Yulong let out a triumphant laugh as he saw that there were only ten meters left before he would fly into the Taiyi Sect's airspace.
Just as he laughed triumphantly, the arrowhead formed from Five-Color Spiritual Qi pierced his body. He shuddered, the smile on his face freezing as a look of despair appeared. He felt the thing that entered his body causing extreme turmoil, splitting into five streams that wreaked havoc inside him, churning his blood and qi until he couldn't help vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood. Then he could not advance another step and fell straight down.
Wang Xiaoqiang piloted the flying boat upwards and fired three more Spiritual Energy Arrows at the falling figure.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
All three Spiritual Energy Arrows hit Jiang Yulong's body. Blood sprayed from his mouth, staining his handsome face red.
Jiang Yulong's body fell near the edge of the Land of Sacred Emptiness, very close to the Taiyi Sect, which made it likely to be discovered. Although Wang Xiaoqiang thought there might be Cultivation Technique Manuals or jade stones on Jiang Yulong's body, he did not dare to search it. He also had no desire or time to look for the other two bodies. What he needed to do now was to hurry home and put the Amulet in the hands of his family.
The Cultivation Realm was indeed more brutal than the secular world, where even minor issues could lead to mutual slaughter. Having offended the Crown Prince Faction and killed three people, he might face retaliation, so now, more than ever, it was imperative to find protection for his family promptly.
The setting sun was blood-colored, the mountains majestic below as Wang Xiaoqiang flew eastward on the flying boat. As the sky gradually darkened and the moon shone, surrounded by twinkling stars, Wang Xiaoqiang had no time to appreciate the view. Focused solely on hurrying, it took an hour for the flying boat to reach H province's borders. Guided by the general direction, Wang Xiaoqiang flew straight toward Huagui County.
Huagui County was easy to locate, with several tall buildings featuring prominent banners pointing him toward Huagui County Town. After finding the county town, he then aimed for Sanmiao Village. Without Divine Sense, the flying boat could not fly too low, and the countryside was dark at night, with only a few points of light that made it hard to distinguish villages. Then Wang Xiaoqiang had an idea and thought of Great Green Mountain.
The towering Great Green Mountain was not hard to find. Soon, Wang Xiaoqiang located it and piloted the flying boat to descend. The flying boat fell sharply like an airplane, coming to land on the main road just outside Sanmiao Village.
It was around 8 pm. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't dare to land inside the village to avoid startling anyone.
Putting away the Spirit Spring, Wang Xiaoqiang hurried back to the village. Observing the real-life small village, the events at the Taiyi Sect seemed like a dream. He passed by the Big Mouth Supermarket and greeted Aunt Big Mouth. She was so surprised to see Wang Xiaoqiang, the big boss, walking briskly back to the village that she was speechless.
